An all-in-one reference book, text book and training manual for builders who want a well-rounded, practical guide to all aspects of quality hand-made wooden-frame housebuilding. With more than 30 years of combined experience in building custom-made wood frame homes, the authors bring to the world of professional and self-building a hands-on manual that details in clear language and with full colour photographs and drawings all the steps, tips, short-cuts and techniques they have developed over the years to build sound, durable homes. Professional builders, self-builders, architects and potential home-owners who strive for squeak-free floors, straight walls and cost-efficency should learn procedures from this textbook that they can adapt and blend into their own projects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, 23 Jan 2009
By Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I find this to be an indispensable guide to all aspects of framing. A word of warning though as this is an American publication all measurements are imperial. It's not a problem but the " pedantic pats " out there will look for something to criticise !

Starting with a detailed section on kit this book then progresses on to working from a mudsill, framing the floor, the wall and then the roof. The interior framing is well covered and a chapter dedicated to special details which include arches, attic access, firestops,etc. The methods used here are tried and tested and with plenty of diagrams and photographs along the way you wont be stuck for something to look at ! I also recommend Framing roofs which is in the For pros by pros series.
